Chapter 450-Deal
Dave gazes at the five guardians of the human race in this world, sensing their powers, but none of them pose a threat to him.
As the master of sin, he can sense their emotions. He especially looks at Ren with a smile but refrains from taking any action, acting normally.
The human crowd is stunned by his arrival. Every move he makes appears as smooth as flowing water, even though no one can perceive his cultivation.
The protectors descend to greet him. “Greetings, Lord,” they say.
They don’t know his name, but they address him as “lord” out of respect for his power.
He smiles and nods in response. Fu smiles as well and instructs his associates to continue their event.
He invites Dave to the meeting room to discuss matters concerning humanity.
Dave nods, knowing they have no other option and will agree with his proposal.
As for the event, he doesn’t bother to watch it, and they all leave the arena.
His entrance alone earns him many sin points, leaving him satisfied.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
In the meeting room, Fu observes Dave as he drinks the tea they’ve served, without concern for potential poison.
Dave appears nonchalant, indicating he doesn’t fear them.
Given their age and cunning, they understand why he seems aloof and unafraid.
He either has confidence in his strength or possesses some hidden advantages.
Fu smiles and speaks, “Lord, we’ve decided to accept your proposal. In return, we hope you’ll keep your promise and allow us to leave this place.”
Dave sets down his tea and nods.
“Hmm, this lord values promises. How about we sign a soul contract here for your peace of mind?”
With a flick of his fingers, a soul contract appears in front of Fu.
Fu is taken aback but reads the content and finds it acceptable.
He smiles and signs it. There’s no trace of malice, so he signs it without difficulty.
His impression of Dave rises another notch as he’s willing to form a contract here to assure them.
The other guardians also nod and lower their guard. It’s their first time seeing a human outside this place, and they recognize he’s their only chance to escape.
They don’t realize that Dave can breach the contract since he’s not bound by the Universe’s will.
Nonetheless, he intends to honor the deal for the sake of humanity.
He’s a good citizen with strong moral values, and helping others is ingrained in his nature.
The other guardians nodded, and their trust in him grew because of the contract.
“Lord, which planet do you come from? And how do you plan to help us escape this place?”
Hilda inquired; her gaze fixed on Dave. Dave, however, ignored her obvious admiration and replied, “Simple, I will just defeat the overlord.”
Upon hearing this, the room fell silent, and everyone stared at Dave in shock and amazement.
“What?”
“Are you sure?”
“The overlord is a Divine Monarch and can unleash their Divine Domain, making them unmatched by those who only possess domains.”
Dave smiled, showing no fear of such a Divine Domain. He had learned many things from Aby like how to become a Divine Monarch, one must condense a Divine Heart.
Dave had already achieved this, using a Chaotic Heart that surpassed many Divine Hearts, according to Aby and Yggdrasil.
He had created a domain previously, mostly to seal his enemies, but he hadn’t yet created a true domain that matched his personality and power, as he typically dispatched his enemies swiftly. He hadn’t thought much about it yet.
The Divine Domain was a trump card for a Divine Emperor, capable of inducing despair in their enemies.
To counter it, one had to possess a Divine Domain themselves or be significantly stronger than the caster.
Dave had no fear of Divine Domains because he could obliterate them with his raw power, and he had plenty of other tricks up his sleeve.
Fu was astonished, but they had already made a contract, so he asked once more.
Dave just smiled at them and said., “Hehe, Overlords are weak in front of me, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Tonight, I will eliminate the northern overlord and seize the portal.”
The other guardians were taken aback, not expecting that this had been his plan all along.
However, since they couldn’t see through Dave, they chose to believe in him.
Hilda gazed at Dave with a surprised expression and said, “Lord, the Overlord of the North is the second strongest among the four overlords, a formidable behemoth. He stands at a towering 1,000 meters and possesses the bloodline of the Fire Ape. They call him Ape Emperor, and even the mightiest overlord will struggle against him if he goes berserk.”
Dave smiled and replied, “Well, I enjoy a challenge, and he happened to be the nearest overlord.”
They were left speechless, not anticipating that Dave’s decision would be solely based on the proximity of the target.
Seeing that Dave had made up his mind, Fu composed himself and presented a spatial ring containing their agreed-upon payment.
“Lord, this is the payment for our deal.”
Dave smiled as he inspected the ring, discovering a wealth of resources and treasures, including rare medicinal herbs, which he recognized as an Alchemy Emperor’s offering.
He nodded in satisfaction, realizing that his journey here had been worthwhile.
As for the remaining payment, Fu directed, “Follow me, Lord.”
Dave looked to Fu as he stood up to lead him to their ancestral hall. They traversed a secret passage, with the other guardians following closely.
Dave’s attention was drawn to a statue along the way, filled with billions of energy strands.
This amount alone was enough for Dave to be summoned by an exceptionally fortunate individual.
“As expected of a place that has endured for so many years,”
Dave mumbled. He recalled that he could also collect such an amount, though it would take him no more than a week.
Fu explained, “Lord, you can absorb it by touching the statue. All the luck strands we collected were transferred here because we couldn’t use them, thanks to the overlord blocking the summoning portals.”
Dave nodded and placed his hand on the statue.
Suddenly, all the lucky energy strands rushed into his body, and he felt an overwhelming surge of energy, making him feel weightless.
The surroundings were bathed in a green light, and Dave seemed like a radiant deity descended upon the mortal world.
